Has anyone gotten a color e-reader/e-paper tablet? I already have some kindles, but I'd really like a color e-reader for manga, webtoons, etc that isn't locked into an ecosystem. I'm between the boox go color 7 gen 2, bigme 751c color e-paper, and the bigme b7 color e-paper 🤔.

I'm leaning more towards the e-paper tablets because of the high refresh rate, but I'd love to know what issues, if any, everyone has run in to if you have any of these.

Thank you!

I recently have started to feel overwhelmed by reading. My TBR, Libby holds becoming ready when I am not, and being in a book club and not getting to solely focus on my preferred genre (I still love my book club.) Also, work has been busy, so that is definitely adding to my "meh" feeling about reading. How do you get out of a reading slump? Decompress? Have any advice? Any commentary is welcomed!

I kept seeing ads from the Broken Binding about the special editions they're dropping for this series and figured I would check it out. So far~ it's good enough to have me wondering how the story is going to play out but the characters and plot feel a bit flat to me.

I'm not really attached to any of the characters just yet and the Tungdil's journey isn't really that captivating, which I think is because the author seems to skip over context. One thing I loved about Cahill and Gwynne's series was that I felt like I was really following along with the characters as they went on their journey, but this feels more like I'm listening to someone tell me about the journey someone went on lol. It's not terrible, but I'm definitely missing something. When something tragic happened in FaTF for example, I FELT the characters despair and sorrow. In this, I feel like it's someone's distant cousin retelling the story of what they heard happened lollll it's a bit disappointing 😞

For instance, he consistently mentions names of deities, but you don't learn anything about them until about 20% of the way through the book. I have an inkling that the meat and potatoes of this book come after Tungdil meets other dwarves and gets his sea legs, so I'll reserve more judgment until then. Finger crossed things pick up 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾.

I’m really liking it so far! I haven’t seen the movies in a loooong time and I’ve never read the books. I do love fantasy though so I’m willing to give it a try!!
